The Words came down upon her Drop by Drop…

She hadn’t thought about it much… but the rain brought it back…drop by drop…the words came down…slowly at first and then in a rush…she felt them seep into her heart and head…she fought it so hard…ran to the further most corner of the house…covered her head with the blanket…but alas, the drops had synchronized their fall to the beat of her heart…no escaping it now…she gave in…gave into the words…the gestures…that each drop splash evoked…
Opened her door and sat down…all her feelings came tumbling out…came from all the little corners in which they had been hiding…drenched in her thoughts… her hair all wet, dripped down her face and arms…she felt a chill…she shone from what the words had done to her…she shone cos it had brought out all the strength within her…gleaming like the leaves on the trees and quivering with the breeze…for letting go of so much for nothing… she was left with nothing but the raindrops…the words…that meant nothing to either of them…they’d come with the thunder and lightening and poured into her life…unstoppable…and then gone away without even facing her…she’d woken up to feel the cool earth beneath her feet…the only sign of what she’d lived through…and in a few hours that too would dry and she’d forget…
Sitting up…drenched…the kajal making little paths down her cheeks…cheeks burning with determination in the face of the rain coming down hard…eyes unblinking even to the frightening rumble…she was glad she’d closed her life and self…beautifully…slowly…
Till the drops fell again…mercilessly…
